TooManyCars ,

Great gear info!

Over the last year, I’ve listened to every episode of Chairmen of the Boards as well as a decent number of the ‘Rig Doctor’ episodes earlier in the feed. And the big takeaway is that I wish I’d listened to the whole thing before buying any pedals, because the info here would have prevented every mis-step I’ve made so far. It’s plenty of fun, the hosts are knowledgeable without coming off as ‘know-it-all’s’, and even the ad codes are actually super helpful for anyone like me putting a dream rig together. Pedals, guitars, amps, cables, power, and everything else you can think of is covered really well here.

favorite gear pod

this resource is incredible… the niche knowledge shared here is invaluable in the industry, and humor is on point. :) dad jokes are 17/10

i watch it on youtube usually ,

Just a thought

Brian looks like he beat up the guy his voice belongs to.
